The podcast Bouncing Deathquark introduced in 2019 the strategic framework of "main house, support house, burst house" as a way to understand the role a house plays in a deck. We're doing a fresh examination of each house role over coming episodes to understand how they work with everything that's evolved in KeyForge in the past four years.

The pile of "used cards" off to the side is actually pretty dang important as a growing source of critical information on both your and your opponent's side of the playmat. Zach guides you through how information in the discard pile can be wielded to great effect.
